Now putting out a healthy 282BHP 301 lbft of torque, feels Ferrari fast (for now)

Absolutely KILLED a 325i coming back from Scotland on the A1 ;-)

Why they don't come out of the factory like that, I'll never know..

Most did.

It's just that the anaemic UK market models didn't

Not quite, the more powerful Jap spec WRX still only had 245BHP from the factory. The official prodrive pack from Subaru was supposed to take the UK models up to 265BHP although many people believe this was a bit of an optomistic figure.

Indeed. Considering the wife's 2 litre non MIVEC, normally aspirated FTO import is 180BHP out of the box, I'd expect a turbo'd lairy motor to whack out 100BHP more.

Ooooh, there's a surprise, eh?

Like me saying "Took the Range Rover out for a spin the other day, murdered a Land Rover Series 3 diesel with it.". The Impreza should kill a 325i even in anaemic UK spec.

Mainly because of tree huggers and their ill-informed eco bullshit.

A standard 221BHP WRX would beat a 325i off the line due to the AWD, once rolling (due to AWD transmission losses) there would be very little in it, the 325i has 190BHP and it's RWD.

In standard spec the WRX's haven't really got good mid range oomph..

325 is probably 1400-1500kg's the scoob is around 1800kg's so there's the weight difference too.

Oh you do sound like a boy racer. I often read about how a 1.2 Corsa raced past cars and left them standing etc. It's probably because the other driver doesn't want some idiot with no driving skills causing an accident. That's why they let boy racers go well out of the way. Why would you need to race with another car? Do you have a small penis or something? Does it excite you in some way? Do you not have anything else in your life such as a girlfriend or maybe a boyfriend? If you are going to drive like an idiot, it's OK to kill yourself but think about others you might involve in your few seconds of pleasure. A Subaru is hardly a "Fast Car" anyway, keep modifying and spending loads of money - then pay out more when you need to rebuild the crap engine they use. A Ferrari has more than 282 at the flywheel! When you grown up, get a decent job and earn proper money you might one day own a decent car.

Nope: iirc the WRX STI and the 325i are both into the 1500-1550 kg range. Which is by the way bloody heavy!

Really? Do you? Phwoar, good for you.

Absolutely - it's always funny wasting someone who thinks they're going to leave you for dead. I'm not sure why you want to know about his penis though - does that excite you in some way?

Why, do you want to be his boyfriend?

Meh, shit happens.

But it's a faster car than you've ever driven. Also, it's faster than probably 85-90% of the cars on the roads, as most cars are just things like sensible family cars, rep saloons or small cars with small engines.

You're never adding 'Ferrari owner' to your list of pas-times are you? Garage owner, mechanic, police traffic cop, car accessory shop owner, TV salesman and a few more I can't remember.

Hey, you never know, you might actually get there as well! I mean, not own a decent car because you'd never get a licence with your 'problems' - the voices and stuff I mean - and I'm afraid, no matter what your mum says, being a hooker isn't a decent job an proper money isn't £10 a gobble.

Depending on which gen 325i it was but they've been generating 218hp for quite a while as they're actually 3 litre.
